Kanei-ji
台東区上野桜木１丁目１４−１１
A historic temple serving as the head temple of the Tendai sect in the Kanto region, known as the memorial temple for the Tokugawa shogunal family.
History
Founded by the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu, with Tenkai as the founding monk. It flourished as a place of prayer and a memorial temple for the Tokugawa shogunal family, with successive abbots (kanju) being appointed as imperial princes or adopted sons of the emperor until the end of the Edo period. While it boasted immense power in the early modern period, its main buildings were destroyed by fire during the turmoil of the late Edo period.

The Fundamental Central Hall (Konpon Chudo) is currently hosting a limited-time special exhibition of the ceiling painting 'Eigaku Soryu' (Two Dragons on the Wise Peak). While photography is prohibited inside the main hall, visitors can appreciate the painting of dragons glaring in all eight directions from various angles. The temple grounds feature a magnificent main hall and lush trees, and several types of Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) are available.
